14th of September 2014. Another Saturday when AQ2 beats S/Y Sunday

                                         AquilaDeux moored waiting for the match race.
                                         Decision: No coefficients used.
                                         Route from Vyborg Stone to the Särkkä. 


                                         Our Crew: Skippers mother. The "Skipperin"

                                          Skippers sis' Mirja. The "pocket rocket"

                                         On the deck you see Helmi and Milla (Mirja's children).
                                         The Yacht behind is a racer S/Y Sunday with 100%
                                         experienced crew. Skippered by Erkki the AQ2 Skip's
                                         Brother.

                                         And here you see also Kalle (Mirja's son, also called
                                        "Popeye the Sailor") on the rope excercise with Helmi

After a short meeting o shore we decided to match around Santahamina to Särkkä.
Wind was blowing fro E -SE about 6 m/s (perfect!) - Goal was on the west so we sailed on open fair wind. AquilaDeux has a possibility to use Spinnaker (not really with this crew) And S/Y Sunday used Gennaker (Which is really well done because Erkki was alone in his Ultra-fast racing boat Finngulf 33).

We sailed quite close to each other, but S/Y Sunday was not able to pass us. AQ2 crossed the finishing line first.

Fantastic sunny Day. Thank You crew! Thank You Erkki!
